Can you get a Stabyhoun in the Usa? Are they expensive or hard to find? I really love Stabyhouns and I plan to get one when I'm older and I really am planning carefully. Are they expensive?

They are not exactly what you call cheap they cost $1500 in USD, which includes a microchip, first shots and a complimentary membership in the ASA, The American Stabyhoun Association. Look up the ASA, there will be the site and a list of breeders, it's a long wait list and you have to fill out a form but from what I hear it's worth the wait. I'm a tween longing for a Stabyhoun, and they are good with kids too. Goodbye fellow young Staby lover and may the force be with you :-)

Not so much a question. For the last 15 years, I had an incredible female Stabyhoun that we rescued from a shelter. When we got her the shelter told us she was a mix between a Border Collie and a Springer Spaniel. When I saw the picture posted on this site and the description of the breed, right away I knew the shelter had been mistaken. She fit the profile exactly. She is sorely missed.

What is the lifespan of the Stabyhoun? How much would they cost? Would they behave around little children, aged 2 and 4?

The average lifespan of the Stabyhoun is 14-16 years. Stabyhouns love children! They are fairly high energy but not silly, so would keep up with their human playmates easily. All 2-4year old children should be supervised around any dog. For more information please visit the official Stabyhoun website at http://www.stabyhouns.org
